Big City Beat by The System Lyrics

Genre: rb | Year: 1985

Big city, big city, big city beat!
Rrraah!

[Verse 1]
I always dreamed of being in the spotlight
I knew, I'd get there in a matter of time
So, I headed downtown, headed for the big time
I left the boy that was me behind

[Chorus]
Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat

[Verse 2]
I always did like the parties and the fast life
A life of glitter beats a life of crimе
Back where I come from, lifе ain't worth a thin dime
Scratch your way out or you'll stay and die
[Chorus 2]
I was born to hear the drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the streets
And it led me to the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to win and fame to be won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat

[Breakdown]
Big city, big city, big city beat!
Rrraah!
Big city, big city, big city beat!
Rrraah!

I left the boy that was me behind

[Chorus 3]
Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat

Someone gave that boy a drum
There were hearts to win and fame to be won
We knew he could take the heat
And made it in the big city beat
Well, it started with a drum
It was clear that something new had begun
I could hear it in the street
And it led me to the big city beat
